You're not going to do much damage creating a T-Mobile account with my SSN. You will signing up for a credit card or resetting the password on my bank account.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoAnyone that gets defrauded because they are using SSN/DOB/address as some type of identify verification/signature/authorization mechanism. Which would include pretty much all consumer level/retail financial companies I think, but certainly is not limited to them. When entity A defrauds entity B by pretending to be entity C, entity C should not be affected in any way, other than letting entity B know they were not party to the transaction. In other words, it should be entity B’s responsibility to prove entity C engaged in a transaction with them before being able to affect entity C’s credit. And that would solve all of this nonsense very quickly.
